dinner..

So i don't know about you but i grew up with a good home cooked meal every night. and it usually could never be duplicated cause my mom hardly ever used recipes and when she did use a recipe she never followed it. for the first few years of marriage i stuck with the same 7 recipes and just rotated them! ha! but now im loving cooking and having fun in the kitchen. i notice im starting to cook like my mom. i'll read a recipe and then alter it (like i could make it better or something? :) its mainly because i gotta work with what i have :)  but anyways... so 2 nights ago i marinated and slowed cooked ribs for 7 hours! we never ever have ribs but i've ben wanting to make some really good ribs and they were on sale and such a good deal i couldn't pass it up. but i wish i would have! they turned out awful! and it wasn't because of me! it was terrible quality of meat! it was all fat and plastic tasting! i usually always get my meat at costco and i should know better to buy ribs at walmart but i just can't pass up walmarts prices.... but there is a reason there at that price right? so after that complete failure we took the ribs to roxy and she loved them! (my sisters boxer dog :) so last night i made some speghetti! even while im writing this im laughing. i feel like speghetti is no better then having cereal or chicken nugggets for dinner, not nutrition wise but easy cheap wise. BUT dang it was so good!! some good old fashion speghetti with some sausage meatballs and some homemade garlic bread!! dang it hit the spot! how funny that i tried so hard on my ribs and they were crap and then the next night made some speghetti and it was divine! hahaha gotta love it.
